Thread: Just changed the gear box oil

Did you just change the oil?

You might also need to change the filter if your oil was black.

...and only about 1/3 of the oil comes out if you drained it through the drain plug. So run it for a little while, then drain and refill it again to get as much of the old oil out as possible.

Oh hold on, if its a manual, disregard the above.

Where is the filter on the g/box? I thought that was only on the LT77?

I ended up putting in about 2.5L, which is about right.

Was thinking auto, not manual.

They do have a filter on the earlier manual g/box. But you got me thinking...I'm like filter..where...where is this filter

Hi Klappers
Good to hear it has improved your shifting....
I changed mine on sunday .... switched to Castrol syntrans Oil, has made shifts smoother...Did you have much crap on your drain plug?
Mine had quite a bit....and some grit in the oil.....

Yeah I thought about the systrans... I will run it next time for sure. There was a build of crap on the drainplug... probably from the second to third shift, but not to worried atm.

The LT95 has a filter behind the drain plug. It is a long nylon cylinder that can be pulled out with a pinkie.
Dunno about more recent ones.
